Hiyo, I'm having, erm, :oops: , serious issues in this sight-singing class I'm taking. I know, I know, not about whistles. Well, it sort of is. I've always picked up tunes by ear, see, and struggled through the sheet music after words. And now I've enrolled in this sight-singing class--utterly deter...

The advantage of a recorder is that you can (with a C recorder) play in D with mostly the same fingerings, give or take a few depending on the make and model, as the pennywhislte--still do all the embellishments--AND have very easy fingerings for spot-on sharps and flats.

I'll have to try that. Thanks.

Feel free to drop me a PM and I'll see if I can't whip up a sound file for you to tune yourself against.

A customer asked me if I would drill an extra hole between the embouchure hole and the first finger hole in my low D Irish flute in pvc in order for him to play it as a dizi. I said that I would give it a try. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dizi http://www.fournotes.com/asia/china/dizi.php Here is a ...

Hey all, I'm still making vast improvements in my flute playing, and I'm starting to get this "Right Handed" business down a bit better. (I can play both ways, but it gets confusing) -- I have a VERY frustrating problem. Well, two. The first is that I can't seem to do anything to get my fl...

Be damn careful who you take advice from. ITM and whistling has a HUGE middle ground between total neophyte and Master. A lot of the people in the middle ground (like me) know just enough about both subjects to be dangerous.

It must be something to do with my lungs/lips/tongue/throat/breath/body odour... failing all that I'm just a bozo with the B flat. At first it's okay but after 5 mins or so it just stops producing no...

Yep. You're right. I had to clear my cache.

For some reason I was pulling up a page that said " Hello World! : ) "

Anyone know what happened?

I thought that site had a lot of potential. Does anyone know where it went?

I've finally got my rolls, cuts, and taps down pat. They're crisp. They're in the rhythm of the tunes I play, mostly.

I want to learn how to cran.

Can someone direct me to a good learning spot? Or suggest a good book?

Thanks.

Extra information and reasoning is more than welcome Do you care about music? Y \ N Have you ever taken music classes, or participated in a school's music program? Y \ N Do you believe that schools without music programs are capable of educating students as well as schools that do not? Why or Why no...

Just as soon as I can get the video to save small enough!

Ok. I have a youtube account, but I can't make my video small enough size to host. Anyone know how I can make a two minute video not take over 100 megs? :|
